I’m a communication designer, illustrator, and tattoo artist originally from Rio de Janeiro, currently based in Paris. I graduated in Communication Design from Universidade do Porto in 2024. My practice is rooted in the belief that illustration is a powerful tool for transforming environments and imagining new realities through visual experience. Whether working on paper, screen, skin, or city walls, I explore illustration and design from a playful and experimental perspective, often challenging conventional ideas of normality and order. I’m especially interested in book design, printmaking and visual storytelling. At the same time, I remain open and eager to gain experience across different areas of graphic design. I value collaboration, critical thinking, and the kind of design that not only looks good but tells a story, captures attention, and creates impact . I bring strong attention to detail, creativity, and adaptability. I’m excited about contributing to a team that values bold, meaningful design. portfolio: sophiadeluizi.myportfolio.com
